Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada - smart car cruise and treasure hunt 2008

Calling all smart car enthusiasts and participants from both Canada and the USA!
Cleo and James Niagara Cruise Event for 2008 – FINAL PLANS
After listening to our smart car friends and weighing the pro’s and con’s of a smart car event for this year, coupled with both personal and professional demands Cleo and I have agreed to organize the following event.
We are VERY excited to announce something a bit different then our usual wine tour and cruise … without any further delay … we would like to introduce;
The 2008 Niagara smart car Treasure Hunt
We decided in fitting with the reinvented 2008 smart car it was time to reinvent the cruise and add a new adventure for all participating enthusiasts and smartsters.
We are in the mists of planning as I post this note …
Imagine, starting off with a causal and unhurried meet and greet in beautiful Jordan/Niagara on-the-Lake area. Door prizes for best show and shine smart cars, both classic and 2008 models.
The fun really picks up when we start the one and only 2008 smart car Treasure Hunt through Niagara and all parts in between. Smartie’s will be working together to solve the clues, find the “treasures” and in the process meet new friends and old. Once this portion of the day is completed; all the clues solved; destinations uncovered and evidence collected its back to our secret location for a potluck BBQ and picnic.
We will only then discover the winners with prizes drawn and a few more surprises for all.
DATE: we are suggesting a pull/vote for either date of July 13 OR July 20
TIME: 9:00 am – meet and greet
10:00 - show and shine / prizes and giveaways

Im getting excited! I am a new Smart owner and I just found this site. I think this meet is a great idea and I am looking forward to meeting you all.... JUst out of curiosity - has anyone done anything special to their vehicle? And modifications? Im not really looking to do anything too extravagant with mine, but I am interested to find out what is available. My Smart is a lease so I can't do too much to it, but I am thining of buying it out in the end.

Thanks
